Wendy Mass

On her fourth Leap birthday, when she turns sixteen, Josie has a number of momentous experiences, including taking her driver's test, auditioning for a school play, and celebrating with her family and friends.

Leap Day

This fascinating, surprising new novel is full of everyday imaginations and truths in the life and future of every teenage girl, as it tells the story of soon-to-be-16 Josie Taylor, who was born on Leap Day.

This book was a cute coming-of-age story! It was a little different than what I am used to reading from Wendy Mass, simply because the characters are older so it deals with some heavier issues. However, it would be a great beach read because although I was emotionally connected to the story, it didn't make me cry.

I really enjoyed the insight this book gave into how we often assume what other people are thinking very inaccurately. We all think weird thoughts randomly, too. I liked how this book showed that!

The reason I gave this book 4 stars rather than 5 is mostly characterization. There was quite a bit of character development, thank goodness, but at the beginning of the book Josie & her friends slightly annoyed me. They acted younger than 15. Overall however, I really enjoyed this book!
